Trapper Posted February 14, 2010 Posted February 14, 2010 Had an awesome day! I'm amazed that it is such a good organised event with attention to small detail (candles in the loo just must be the best idea ever!) Where will the result be? i've tried SS timing website, but they only show stuff from last year...
stewie911 Posted February 14, 2010 Posted February 14, 2010 Was an awesome ride ja. Sand on the hill after first bridge was hectic. Results should be up within next few days on ss timing website. They also displayed it after the event.
IdeJongh Posted February 14, 2010 Posted February 14, 2010 Hey folks, good race out apart from being shockingly sandy today and quite windy. But was good fun as always! Pics up on pixonsite normally here by Wednesday, results most of the time out the Sunday night but I see SSTiming probably had a busy day, should be out tomorrow morning - http://www.spectrumsport.co.za/index.htm

I sh@t myself the last part of the tar road with the wind in my face. I struggled the first lap, spent most of it with the wind in my face and really chowed me, couldnt find a group to ride with, either the guys were gunning it too much or slowly trotting along, found a riding buddy at start of the second lap and went much better.
The expat cyclist Posted February 14, 2010 Posted February 14, 2010 And the reslults are out. SS always delivers!!! I came 12th in the 70km...Not bad for a first run... Leaves space for improvement as always! Hehehehe... The fiance finished 6th woman in the 35km - GREAT RESULT for someone who trains so little!!!!

Young laaitie. He has beaten me in some of the shorter races so... I have to be honest, my best time before today was 2:57 but that was in September, been training ALOT since then, and today only managed to shave off 7mins. Wasnt too disappointed as the wind/sand slowed me a bit and but after looking at the results most of the people that finished around the same time as me last race, did it much faster this time, also my %position also didnt change much.. Disappointing

I am a firm believer that it isn't the quantity of training that makes you better...It is the quality of training!!! Don't train more - train smarter! Anyway, sien jou by Sabie!

Sammajoor Posted February 14, 2010 Posted February 14, 2010 Just read the result, did a 2:02 for the 35 Km race, after being off the bike for 7 months. Am seriously impressed with my time.
stewie911 Posted February 14, 2010 Posted February 14, 2010 Nice. Improved on 35km. Got 10th place. Maybe I should start looking at the 70km
